Not necessarily, because he's always thinking of the Tour, thus a hard March stage race is in order AND you get in great shape for Flanders. It's unorthedox but we'll see how effective on Sunday.
We really won't because we don't know what to expect from him

No, 2022 Roubaix was worse.
*2021, 2021 had the rain stop at 105 k to go, but before that it was obviously horrible and it still stayed pretty muddy for the final. I‘d say 2021 was way worse as well, those early sectors had some massive puddles and were in even worse shape and obviously there were more sectors than at the Tour.

Bro Nibali was one of the best desenders in the world and a great bike handler. Remco's bike handling and desending skills have been questionable for a few years now.
I wouldn't call his descending skills questionable, they're well above median imho. And he ups them with clear manner of risktaking when he's 'on' day.

Edit: And remember where he came here? After that accident in Lombardia, how much drop there was from that bridge down? (there were no mattresses down there if I remember correctly..) I don't see any fear in him these days diving to the corners or whatever..

I have given his RvV announcement more thought and I really *** hate it.
Pointless theater. So easy to dislike.
